    Was visiting from New England and found Eliza’s on my Find me Gluten Free app. They did not disappoint. Such a quant environment with something for everyone on the menu. Our group got everything from salads & burgers to more authentic creole food the Gumbo Ya Ya & chicken Paillard. I enjoyed the Tri-Color Cauliflower & grilled Gulf Fish and it was outstanding. The staff was very well trained & knowledgeable on Gluten Allergy’s.

    Some unique menu items which we are glad we tried. The food took a very long time to arrive, even though it was only lunchtime, but it turned out to be worth waiting for as a tasting great

    Jeremy, thank you for your patience and your review! Wait times yesterday were, as you mentioned, unfortunately longer than we typically aim for. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to work to correct this in the future. Again, thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you again soon!

    Amazing food, staff, and ambiance. I was visiting from out of town and had to stop here to have their gluten-free fried green tomatoes! They also have really great fried catfish that is also gluten-free. And many more gluten-free options. Totally recommend you have to stop in!

    We were served by the bartender and her recommendations for cocktails were perfect! She was great and made sure we got our food quickly after we ordered. The crab dip and brussels were excellent.

    The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! Get the pimento cheese balls and fried green tomato appetizers. I ordered the pork chop, and it's enough for 2 meals. We will be back soon.

    Excellent food - very slow service. We were there for lunch at noon and we did not get our food until 1:15. Shared some appetizers and they arrived in good time. Some had to leave to get back to work. Will try again because the food was delicious.

    We absolutely loved Eliza! The food was delightful, the ambiance enjoyable, and service spot on. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer, it was a large dish with great flavors. We shared a cup of the gumbo that was fresh and full of flavor. My husband got the steak and frites and I got the crab cakes— both delicious!

    This was a date night, 1st time visit to Eliza for us and we were very impressed. Great culinary, fresh and local find in BR. Quiet date night atmosphere. We had two delicious fish dishes, the grilled redfish with asparagus and rice, and the paneed drum with deliciouspotatoesand collards. A white wine, Selby Russian River Valley paired wonderfully with fish dish and the lemon ice box pie with delicious homemade Graham crackers crust for dessert. Omg!! The server Mia was amazing and attentive. One of our best date nights of the year. We will be back.
